Anti-wrinkle FAQs

Is there any downtime?
After antiwrinkle injections, you need to avoid strenuous exercise and alcohol on the same day. You must avoid lying down for 4 hours after the treatment.
How long does the treatment last?
3-4 months
At what age is anti-wrinkle treatment typically recommended?
As each patient’s situation is unique, individual assessment is conducted to determine the appropriateness of anti-wrinkle treatment. Typically, patients start noticing the emergence of wrinkles in their early thirties, mainly due to a decline in collagen production. Addressing fine lines at an early stage can help prevent their progression into deeper wrinkles over time. To prevent the exacerbation of fine lines, wrinkles, and signs of aging, it is always advisable to prioritize UV protection for the skin.
Will I be able to move my face?
When anti-wrinkle injections are applied correctly, the natural movement and appearance of the face are preserved but appear refreshed and relaxed.
